We generalized to higher dimensions the notions of optical orthogonal codes. We establish uper bounds on the capacity of general $ n $-dimensional OOCs, and on specific types of ideal codes (codes with zero off-peak autocorrelation). The…

In this work, we introduce maximally recoverable codes with locality and availability. We consider locally repairable codes (LRCs) where certain subsets of $ t $ symbols belong each to $ N $ local repair sets, which are pairwise disjoint…

The repair bandwidth of a code is the minimum amount of data required to repair one or several failed nodes (erasures). For MDS codes, the repair bandwidth is bounded below by the so-called cut-set bound, and codes that meet this bound with…

A code over a finite alphabet is called locally recoverable (LRC) if every symbol in the encoding is a function of a small number (at most $r$) other symbols. We present a family of LRC codes that attain the maximum possible value of the…

Petabyte-scale distributed storage systems are currently transitioning to erasure codes to achieve higher storage efficiency. Classical codes like Reed-Solomon are highly sub-optimal for distributed environments due to their high overhead…

This paper studies the cardinality of codes correcting insertions and deletions. We give improved upper and lower bounds on code size. Our upper bound is obtained by utilizing the asymmetric property of list decoding for insertions and…

A code is said to be a $r$-local locally repairable code (LRC) if each of its coordinates can be repaired by accessing at most $r$ other coordinates. When some of the $r$ coordinates are also erased, the $r$-local LRC can not accomplish the…

A locally recoverable code is an error-correcting code such that any erasure in a single coordinate of a codeword can be recovered from a small subset of other coordinates. In this article we develop an algorithm that computes a recovery…

This paper examines linear binary codes capable of correcting one or more errors. For the single-error-correcting case, it is shown that the Hamming bound is achieved by a constructive method, and an exact expression for the minimal…

In this paper we give constructions for infinite sequences of finite non-linear locally recoverable codes $\mathcal C\subseteq \prod\limits^N_{i=1}\mathbb F_{q_i}$ over a product of finite fields arising from basis expansions in algebraic…

It is reasonable to expect the theory of quantum codes to be simplified in the case of codes of minimum distance 2; thus, it makes sense to examine such codes in the hopes that techniques that prove effective there will generalize. With…

Recently, network error correction coding (NEC) has been studied extensively. Several bounds in classical coding theory have been extended to network error correction coding, especially the Singleton bound. In this paper, following the…

Motivated by distributed storage applications, we investigate the degree to which capacity achieving encodings can be efficiently updated when a single information bit changes, and the degree to which such encodings can be efficiently…
